By: Riley Jackson

Fifteen miles outside Las Vegas in a tiny unbuilt house an amazing detective named Susan Patrusome got a call at 11:30 P.M. from Steve the carpet guy. “Kelly the small house designer is missing,” said Steve. “I will be there by 8:00 A.M at the latest, Steve,” said Susan. Steve and Susan talked about where the tiny unbuilt house was at. “1005 N. Truby Street,” said Steve. “Thank you,” Susan said gratefully.

The next day Susan showed up at the tiny unbuilt house at 7:51 A.M. in a shiny cherry red Ferrari. She got out and walked swiftly up to the enormous house door. Susan knockand nobody anserwed, So she waited a minute and knocked again and still nobody answered . Susan tried the enormous door and it was unlocked. She walked in and spotted an old paint brush. Susan quickly walked over and picked up the old paint brush. Then all of a sudden a large wall started to move. Susan jumped and then a tiny note appeared down the passageway. Susan slowly followed the passageway all the way to the tiny note, picked it up and read it. “We moved,” the note said. Susan put the note in her back pocket.

She kept following the path. As she was walking she tripped over a miniature carpet sample. Susan collected the miniature carpet sample and kept walking. Then she ran into something and found out that it was a small wall. Susan looked around, then up, and there was a small trap door. She jumped and pulled herself up and followed another path. There was a large, long staircase that went up and down again. It took her outside. It looked like the front, but Susan knew that it wasn’t because her car was not there. She walked back around the unbuilt house and found an old clock. On the back it said, “Property of Kelly.” Susan walked around and went to her fantastic car. On the window there was a tiny map of Europe and Africa. She got in her car and called all the airlines to see if there was Baker. No airline had a Baker in their system.

Now Susan got very mad because it was 4:30 and no signs of Kelly. When she walked back to the house, there was someone in the enormous window. It was Steve. “Where were you?” said Susan, “I was waiting for you” Steve said, “Kelly walked me through the whole unbuilt house.” “I think I found a couple items of Kelly’s but there were no signs of her,” said Susan. “That’s because I found her? She was up in the bathroom trying to find out what fantastic wallpaper to use,” said Steve. “When did you find her” asked Susan. “Early morning,” said Steve. “Well great job because that means I can go home” said Susan. “When can I have my stuff?” asked Kelly. “They are in my amazing car. Come with me,” said Susan. “Ok,”said Kelly. “I like what you have done with the unbuilt place,” said Susan. “Thanks,”said Kelly. “Here is your stuff,” said Susan. “See you later,” said Kelly. “Nice knowing you,” said Susan. “You too,” said Kelly.
